Château Coutet, Premier Cru Classé winery in Barsac, France.

The winery spans across a 110-meter-long cellar where Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes age in optimal conditions for wine production.

Thomas Jefferson acknowledged Château Coutet as the finest Sauternes producer in Barsac during his diplomatic mission to France in the late 18th century.

The estate maintains traditional harvesting methods with 30 to 40 days of manual grape selection between September and November to ensure perfect ripeness.

Visitors can explore the wine cellars throughout the year and participate in guided tastings of both the main Château Coutet label and La Chartreuse de Coutet.

The soil composition includes a specific mix of clay and limestone that enables the development of botrytis cinerea, essential for Sauternes wine production.
